I would like mine to grow on support boards, but I found, as you suggested Antone, that they would grow better in pots. At first, I didn't listen, not wanting to tear apart all the hard work I did of placing them all on boards, but found once I did I noticed a great improvement. I am working around the idea of still having them grow on some sort of flat support while still being planted in a pot. Maybe wrap wire around the pot so the board doesn't move. Not sure. Love this plant, Antone.
